2020 was a whiplash of a ride...surreal, & yet magical...a year in which my heart hurts for so many. It brought what is truly important into focus, I think, for so many. I’m so very grateful to live the dream and be supported as an artist, for the many creative opportunities that came my way, to be surrounded by loving people, & am MOST thrilled to have fallen in love with a person with such a beautiful heart. Here is hoping 2021 improves for so many, & that we will lead with love & compassion for others. Happy New Year!

After taking a year off from the Chicago event scene, I'm considering making a comeback. Dipped my toe back in the water at tonight's VIP Grand Opening Party of @luckysocialwrg. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood. #ThisIsLakeview #ClarkAndAddison #SouthportCorridor https://ift.tt/2u7lMY7

Chicago Moves To Phase Four

State officials announced Sunday that Chicago is advancing from Tier 1 to Phase 4 of Illinois’ reopening plan. The move loosens some restrictions for businesses in the city. For example, the city’s nonessential curfew has been lifted; at bars and restaurants, bar seating is now allowed and indoor tables can seat up to six people. Additionally, performance venues and movie theaters can operate at 40% capacity with a maximum of 50 people per space indoors and retailers must also limit capacity to 40%.

However, capacity limits of 25% for indoor service at bars and restaurants remain in place. On Friday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot explained that, in order to prevent an uptick in positivity rates, Chicago would not immediately ease restrictions on indoor dining and drinking should the city move into Phase 4. You can find a complete overview of Chicago's Phase 4 regulations here.

Make Local Retailers Your Valentine This Holiday

We love love. And we love our neighborhood communities. So in the spirit of Valentine's Day, here's the best way to show some love to your local retailers:

Spend. Your. Money. Locally.

There are many ways to support small businesses, such as giving a shout out to the great team at Waxman Candles (pictured above) on your socials or writing a positive review online about how much you love their candle selection. But the biggest way you can love your local retailers is to support them by choosing to spend your funds locally. Shop small for your Valentine's Day gifts, drinks, treats and eats. Find a list of gift ideas here and special Valentine's Day menus here.

Then, share with us and your community why you LOVE to shop local! Create an Instagram story or feed post sharing a reason why you love to shop local and tag us at @thisislakeview and @roscoevillagechamber and we'll share it on our Instagram story! Tune into our stories to hear from your neighbors as we spread the love of shopping local among our community. You can also send us a video to be featured via email at info@lakeviewchamber.com.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has been prioritizing shopping small during the pandemic and beyond.
